Title: Sending payments with blockchain API
Post by: coinableS on October 12, 2014, 01:48:01 AM

Can someone help me understand why the send BTC blockchain api isn't working for me?

Nothing happens. The only errors I get is when I try to call the array for transaction id and it indicates nothing exists.

Code:

<?php

$guid="removed for obvious reasons";
$main_password="removed for obvious reasons";
$amount= "10000";
$address = "1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd"; // seans outpost
$from = "1B95ndjwJG8VtiHVfoVHJwhUZ62VpnCxvr"; // a test wallet with a little BTC in it
$fee = "10000";
$note = "Donating to seansoutpost";

function makeDonation($url){
$decode = file_get_contents($url);
return json_decode($decode, true);
}

$donateURL = makeDonation('https://blockchain.info/merchant/$guid/payment?password=$main_password&to=$address&amount=$amount&from=$from&fee=$fee&note=$note');
$donateMsg = $donateURL["tx_hash"];

echo "Success transaction ID " .$donateMsg;
?>

I changed the json part a little and I took out the second password since I don't have a second password.
No idea what I'm missing here...

I'm working off of this:
https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_wallet_api

Note there's an error on their list of variables. They list $to but there is no $to, it's $address according to their url.

Oh yea
I even tried something super simple such as getting a balance and I'm getting no response. Do I have to get whitelisted to use their API?

Code:

Fetching the wallet balance

Fetch the balance of a wallet. This should be used as an estimate only and will include unconfirmed transactions and possibly double spends.

https://blockchain.info/merchant/$guid/balance?password=$main_password

It's probably something on your side, I didn't have to when I set the API up on my VPS. Are you trying this on a shared host?

I'm using my web server, it's hossted similar to godaddy. I pay monthly it has been a decent service, been using them for ~10 years.
I have no issues calling the buy/sell APIs from bitstamp and btc-e, finex. This is the first time I've tried blockchain API...

I found an example on stackexchange as well and even that won't work...
I'm starting to think I need to request an API code (https://blockchain.info/api/api_create_code)

Ok I requested and received my API key. Still I get nothing when I run it. No errors, just a blank page.
Not sure why I can't figure this out. ??? I think I'm going to try coinbase API instead

Blockchain may have possibly blocked your IP with godaddy or godaddy may have possibly blocked blockchains IP.

How can one unblock your bitstamp account? Should we call customer support?
